Although Jamaica is number 53 on the list, with what we know now, we would not like to see the condition of the other places that come behind our wonderful island.
I am told that when you visit Jamaica’s public hospitals you will not find soap or tissue in any one them. Hospital staff carry their personal hand sanitizers and tissue with them because there is none. Mops are being used that are over six months old and unsanitized linen are being carried into the hospitals by the families of patients.
There has always been a culture of bringing your night gown/sheet to the hospital in Jamaica to spread on the already sparsely sanitized beds, sometimes taking home the sheets to wash and returning them with more germs on them than before. Professional sanitizing companies will tell you that merely washing linens and clothes in detergent and room temperature water may not get rid of the germs in them. So, one of the chief ways of keeping infection in hospitals is really continuing to subscribe to this culture. A hospital’s chief objective should be to save lives, not to remain open as it is just merely a facility to have. Service and serving it’s patients should be a priority
High theft plagues Jamaica’s hospitals by hospital staff.Mandatory searches should be done and financial audits should be carried out monthly. Parties who are guilty of stealing should be promptly dismissed. On any given day, you may overhear a hairdresser talking about gloves they purchase from hospital personnel,soap or even gauze. A drop a day can fill a bucket eventually; That one box of glove, will add up to a case of gloves, that small bottle of soap easily becomes a gallon.A hospital robe becomes dozens of robes.These items are residing in the homes of the staff while the hospitals are doing without.It can’t be only that the person doing the purchasing order for soap etc isn’t ordering enough, stealing plays a big part in hospital supplies being sparse. Perpetrators should be held accountable and should lose their jobs for stealing hospital property. Big up to the company/factory in Jamaica who fired the employee for stealing half a cabbage and the other one for a half bottle of oil. Its not the amount its the principle behind the theft.Bring them into account !
Bellablair hello met listen dat song
Met is on the JLP payroll. She is always on the lookout for negative news to report on Jamaica. She is always stalking Lisa Hanna, a good comrade.
U look stalker company? nah I dont do chicks…
I guess I will have to post this about Minister Hanna, since met will not deem this news worthy since it contradicts a previous thread of hers.
TEF confirms M.P. Lisa Hanna received no funds for pavement of school
7:50 am, Wed November 11, 2015
The Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) says between 2011 and the present, it received no project proposals from Member of Parliament for St. Ann South Eastern Lisa Hanna for the Bensonton division where the Prickly Pole Primary School is located.
Two months ago, claims surfaced that Miss Hanna had received funding to pave the school yard but the work had not been done. The media was given a document titled Detailed Programme of Work – TEF/NSWMA, the last line of which read – pavement of Prickly Pole School Front, but with no dollar figure attached.
Miss Hanna said the project was proposed but never approved by her constituency executive and as such no funding was sought for it. The allegations sparked a demonstration, which made national headlines when 11-year-old Akella Lewis died after protestors first stopped at the school.
Our Access to Information request to the Tourism Enhancement Fund had asked for all documentation from Miss Hanna’s office to the Fund relating to project proposals concerning Prickly Pole Primary School and the Bensonton Division in general. But a response from the Tourism Enhancement Fund, over the signature of executive Director Clyde Harris said no such proposal had been received.
Who cares?
Who cares? Obviously you did some weeks ago when you were in cahoots with other Labourites to suggest that Lisa Hanna stole government funds. Are you now prepared to withdraw such outlandish claims and publicly apologize to the Minister? :thumbup
You must be Lisa’s paid PR, is image all she cares about? What is she doing about the wonton sexual exploitation of children in Jamaica and the use of social media to further victimise them, in her role as minister of youth and culture? I will wait…
